Kate Spade is well-known for their bright and colourful handbags that have just a touch of new york luxe. Many would consider their accessories investment pieces as the prices are somewhere between high-end and designer. But luckily there's an option for us who want in on the vibrant and distinctive goodies, without hurting our wallet as much.

Kate Spade Saturday is a spin-off of the original brand, but is catered more to the casual taste. There you can find the wild and bold printed accessories and clothing at more of a main floor department store price.

Have a look through my faves and let me know what you think of Kate Spade Saturday!

Hi everyone, please accept my sincere apologies for being somewhat MIA from the blogosphere lately. I promise to make it up with this update and preview on the special surprises to come.

So just to recap, I started blogging at the beginning of July and managed to publish many posts within a short timeframe. But at times I felt they were forced or just following the typical fashion blogger route. So for the past couple of weeks I've decided to take it slow and muse over a couple of blogging books like Dana Fox's "Blog Wonderful" and the classic "Blog Inc" by Joy Cho. I'm not an avid book reader, but I found those two books jam packed with useful tips and inspiration.

Reading those two books made me realize the importance of having a short-term plan for the future of my blog. So in the next 2 months I will be showcasing some local businesses, great deals from my back-to-school haul and have a short series on affordable Fall boots. You might also want to watch out for some more of my giveaways!

Well, speaking of giveaways, I meant to offer one once I reached my 50 followers target on Bloglovin. But since then, that number has been climbing and I reached 100 this past week! So to thank all of my loyal readers (+ to warmly welcome the b2school season) I have followed through with your requests and will be holding a second Brandy Melville giveaway! And if you've read any of my previous posts, you'd know I'm an obsessed Brandy Melville fan.

So right below is a sneak preview of the giveaway prize; it's the Brandy Melville loose graphic "Stay Classy" tank valued at around $21 CAD.

Excited to enter?

Then let me know by commenting below and I'll consider opening the giveaway in less than 24 hours :)

1) Open Blazer $42 CAD - Dynamite

2) Washed Fabric Backpack $42 CAD - Brandy Melville

3) Wrap Midi Prom Dress $120 CAD - Topshop (the Bay)

4) Rosata Crossbody Top Zip $130 CAD - Guess (the Bay)

5) Rosette Hair Clip Set $2.96 CAD - Forever 21

6) Kitten Heel Pumps $29 CAD - Forever 21

7) Crochet Short $12 CAD - Dynamite

8) Asymmetric Hems Blouse $21 CAD - Mango

This is my sweet collection of pink coloured favourites from some of my preferred brands. Up first is the light coloured blazer (1) from Dynamite that looks great over any bright coloured top paired with some beige skinnies. Next from the one and only Brandy Melville is a washed out backpack (2) that would be ideal for the beach or fashionably camping (just kidding). For that summer cocktail party or just watching fireworks, I'd definitely wear this elegant V-neck dress (3) from the Bay. And again from the Bay we have a beige/pinkish purse (4) that would add a touch to any summer look. Forever 21 is notorious for their range of accessories and these rose hair clips (5) are no exception; I'd wear them to spice up a plain dress. These coral pumps (6) can be worn to complete any summer outfit and give that pop of colour. As a lover of crochet and lace I couldn't leave out Dynamite's form-fitting shorts (7) which I'd wear under a dark grey blazer. And lastly we have a light chiffon tee (8) from Mango which could be worn over printed leggings with flip flops for that casual look. 

Let me know which ones you like!
